I’m not a review leaver. But this place deserves a review more than any restaurant I have been to. I have never tasted a cuisine that deserved a review as much as this does. Our family of 6 came in, ate all sorts of different platters and drinks. I cannot find a single thing to complain about whatsoever. Every single plate was astonishing in their own ways. All of the drinks were immaculate and well made. I don’t care if this place doubles the prices, I will not be deterred. This is better than fine dining, this is a spiritual experience in the food realm. If you are reading this searching for a place to eat, stop thinking and pull up the directions to Thai Peacock.

Wow, this place is amazing! Even though it was super busy, we didn't have to wait long, and we got a sweet balcony view. The decorations were gorgeous, especially those chandeliers. The menu had tons of stuff to choose from. I thought the digital menu was a cool touch, kept things fresh. Getting drinks was a great call! Mine was perfect, not too strong, and hers was awesome too. The food came out fast and was cooked perfectly! The noodles were on point, and the spice level was just right! That spicy sauce was exactly what I needed to spice up half my dish! I totally recommend the sample plate, everything was delicious with its own sauce. I think the crab puffs were the best part, so crispy and crunchy outside, and the inside was creamy, the sweet n sour sauce made it even better. I would've ordered like 20 of them if I had room! The pork with the rice plate was just okay. Everything else was awesome, but the pork needed something... maybe a sauce or a better marinade. The dessert was kinda funny, I don't know what I was expecting, but the little tin it came in wasn't the best look for the last course! Maybe it could have been plated differently, or something else would have been better, but it was the only dessert option. Still a great place, and I'd totally go back to try more dishes!

Food was fresh and decent. Tom yum was a bit too sour. Pad thai and panang house special was a bit too sweet. The flat noodle with beef was salty. Fried rice was perfectly cooked, but mayo on fried fish was not expected for thai food.

Stopped by for an early Sunday dinner. Great food, big portions, affordable prices. Only wish was that the server had asked for spiciness level so that my chicken pad see ew could’ve been spicier. Trout and fried rice was delicious and trout was perfectly fried. Either way, highly recommend if you are in downtown Portland

Read it very nicely professionally, waitress was very excited and eager to help, even though they were extremely busy the food was utterly fantastic. Very flavorful food and authentic. Restaurant is very clean and friendly environment. The fried rice, although very common any restaurants was much better than their competition. Ramen noodles with chicken are also very good and not only authentic but very, very tasteful. Management must do a good job here as they do a fantastic job with hiring. The only thing I would say is bring your patience. Don’t be in a rush to get out of here. They will do their best to accommodate you, but you have to understand with how busy they are. It is worth the wait

After getting hungry from exploring Powell's, we decided to walk over to Peacock Thai. We were seated right away and ordered the Thai salad, Pad Phet, and Pad Khi-Mao. Everything was great, though the Pad Khi-Mao could have used a little more flavor. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it!
